Jordan Harrison Biography
Jordan Harrison is a fourteen year-old honor student at her
school. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
Seeing Jordan with her family, she cannot be overlooked. A tall,
beautiful young lady with brunette locks of hair between two
beautiful blond sisters. Her captivating smile is the same as when
she was a five year-old singing her first solo in the church
Christmas play.
Since both of her parents are teachers, she spent her preschool
days with grandparents. Much of this time she spent listening to
her grandfather sing older country music. She quickly learned
the words. Although much of the music of his time was about lost
loves and honky-tonks, this special time helped her to develop a
love and a pretty good ear for the genre.
Jordan began her life with physical limitations that could have
prevented her from following the dream that she is chasing
today. She had frequent ear infections and was completely
“tongue tied” as an infant. Thanks to a successful surgery
performed by an ear, nose and throat specialist and advice from
a great pediatrician, her ear and tongue problems were
corrected. The medical procedures prevented damage to her
hearing and freed her tongue so that she could form her words
correctly.
Performing three one-hour shows at the Opryland Hotel and
Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee July 3 – 5, was the
highlight of 2006 for Jordan. Her first public performance,
however, was not as glamorous as performing at the Opryland
Hotel.
When Jordan was in the third grade, she was crowned the
winner of the third and fourth grade pageant at her school.
Following tradition, the next year she had to crown her
successor. Since she was not competing, she asked the pageant
director if she could sing during the intermission. She was an
instant hit. This elementary student became a regular entertainer
at the high school pageants and other local events.
Over the last year, Jordan has rapidly gained notoriety across the
south and has earned herself a long list of performance credits.

performances, Jordan would say her visits to the Children’s
Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama in June and November of 2006.
She enjoys seeing the patients and their parents smile.
Her debut CD, Just Startin' Out was completed in September
2006. It included one song, Puppy Love, that Jordan wrote.
Puppy Love was entered in the 2006 International Songwriters
Competition and placed in the semi-finals. She recently
completed recording her second CD titled Made Ya' Look in
Nashville at OMNIsound Studios. Jordan wrote four and co-wrote
one of the songs on the Made Ya' Look project. Click here for

What started as a grandfather’s dream for his granddaughter is
taking shape to become reality for Jordan. This journey had
humble beginnings; a grandfather sharing stories with her of
listening to the greats of country music perform on the Grand Ole
Opry stage. Jordan has come a long way since those preschool
days of singing with her grandfather, but the dream is still the
same. Whenever she is asked what she wants to do when she
grows up, she always says the same thing, “Become a lawyer and
sing at the Grand Ole Opry.” If a good heart and a caring spirit
determine one’s success, Jordan will go far. Stay tuned;
remember she’s only fourteen!
